Today in Labor History March 24, 1901: Ub Iwerks was born. Iwerks was one of the great early animators. He got his start working for Walt Disney. He animated most of the early Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony cartoons, including Steamboat Willie. However, he couldn’t stand Disney’s dictatorial style and left in 1930, opening his own study and creating other classics like Flip the Frog and Willie Whopper. In 1937, Leon Schlesinger hired Iwerks to animate several Looney Tunes starring Porky Pig. He later did special effects work for Hitchcock’s “The Birds” and Disney’s “Song of the South.”
